In Celebration of
John Philip Barratt
August 12, 1944 –
February 15, 2019
Sadly, John passed away on February 15th in the Mississauga Hospital in the presence of his younger son, Jordan, after a hard fought battle with bladder cancer.
John was born in Trail, British Columbia on August 12th 1944 to Jean and Phil Barratt. He had one much loved older sister, Nancy Whitham, who visited him from Calgary just two weeks ago.
John was married to Jennifer Rodgers whom he had met at university in 1970. In 1973, they moved to Mississauga from Vancouver when John was transferred. They had two sons, Jeffrey Michael and Jordan Alexander. Both are CPAs, no doubt influenced by their father.
Our family was blessed with the arrival of Sloane and Will, born to Jeff and his wife, Tara Douglas, as well as Emily and Reid, Jordan and Heather’s children. John loved his grandchildren and they loved him – a relationship that benefitted each one of them.
John graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Beginning with the Royal Bank, he worked for a number of financial institutions including Lloyds Bank as its Deputy CEO. In 1985, he received an Executive MBA from MIT. After his banking career, he then worked with Coscan in the land development business in the U.S. John also spent several years working in Silicon Valley in California dealing with bankruptcies and insolvencies during the tech bubble. In 2005, he returned home to retire, only to discover Crystal Fountains Incorporated. Three weeks ago, he finally wrote his letter of resignation from CFI.
John also loved the Credit Valley Golf Club. The friendships developed over the years were one of the most important accomplishments of his life. Just as important were the friendships and partnerships he found at the bridge tables of the MOBridge Club.
A celebration of John’s life will be held at The Credit Valley Golf and Country Club on Saturday, March 2nd from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.
If so desired, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society may be made in John’s memory.
